In this article is a full explanation on the relation between rising gas prices and food shortages. Here’s the link: Corporations have to pay more for diesel fuel to move food from point A to point B. They in turn pass that expense to us by raising the cost of food items which they can get moved across the country.

It’s a never ending cycle. They pay more, than we pay more for the food available because the cost of fuel is passed on. You all notice I did say aavailable.I do suspect that as we move closer to the end of the year you will start seeing a decrease in items available across America (and the world as well). 

My daughter works for one of the many grocery pickup services. She has told me several times that their deliveries are irregular and often not complete. Which means if products aren’t loaded on a truck they don’t make it to a shelf. I do question the legitimacy of this shortage. Is it because there’s not much to be put on the shelves or is their a bigger scheme in play here. This something we need to slow down and demand answers to.
